This week marks the return of Mark Hamill as the Trickster in The Flash series, and the CW has a sneak peek at the episode with commentary by showrunner Andrew Kreisberg. There are spoilers, naturally.

Spoilers behind the jump.
Among DC’s Joker variant covers for June, including Flash #41 by Eddy Barrows and Marcelo Maiolo.
This issue is titled, “The End of the Road”…but while the Future Flash story line IS wrapped up here we get some major developments that begin a whole new chapter in the life of Barry Allen. This is an issue you WILL want to read more than once, one of the best issues in the Venditti-Jensen-Booth era of our favorite speedster!
SOME SPOILERS AHEAD
The CW has released the official synopsis for the episode to air on April 14th, titled “All Star Team Up” (there’ll be a one-week break between “Tricksters” and this episode).
“All Star Team Up” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)
ARROW’S FELICITY SMOAK (EMILY BETT RICKARDS) AND RAY PALMER (BRANDON ROUTH) ARRIVE IN CENTRAL CITY; EMILY KINNEY (“The Walking Dead”) GUETS STARS AS BRIE LARVIN — Barry (Grant Gustin) is surprised when Felicity Smoak (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) arrives from Starling City along with her boyfriend, Ray Palmer (guest star Brandon Routh), who flies in as the Atom. They’ve come to visit S.T.A.R. Labs as Ray needs help with his suit. Their timing turns out to be fortuitous because it’s all hands on deck after a meta human named Brie Larvin (guest star Emily Kinney) unleashes hundreds of robotic bees to attack and kill her former co-workers, including Dr. Tina McGee (guest star Amanda Pays). A group dinner with Barry, Felicity, Ray, Iris (Candice Patton) and Eddie (Rick Cosnett) turns into a disaster. Kevin Tancharoen directed the episode written by Grainne Godfree & Kai Yu Wu (#118). Original airdate 4/14/2015
Seeing a Rule 63 version of the Bug-Eyed Bandit will definitely be something. It’ll be interesting to see how it’s done.
In an episode that has echoes of “Groundhog Day”, Barry Allen finds out the hard way that messing with the past can have serious results. If you didn’t see last week’s episode, you may want to catch that one first, as this episode makes SO much more sense that way. It would be very hard to match the intensity level of last week’s show…and unfortunately there are parts of last week’s episode that no longer apply (spoilers ahead)…but still this is an important chapter of the story, and if nothing else a little…Golden…intervention makes this another very interesting episode of our favorite super-hero show.
SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!
Here’s the trailer for next week’s episode of the Flash, titled “Tricksters”. You can probably guess what it’s about and who’s in it!

Canadian broadcaster CTV has a very different trailer for the episode, which you can see here. The quality isn’t great, but it has a different angle on the story which some might find interesting.
Who’s excited for the return of Mark Hamill as James Jesse? And it’ll be the first time we’ve seen Axel Walker in any adaptation.
